Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

I tweaked Quaker's original recipe a bit to suit me. By adding a little Crisco to the recipe, it prevents the cookie from becoming too flat. Also, I use "baking" raisins because they are already plumped and moist; this making the raisins and the cookies soft, chewy, and moist. As with most baking, depending on how accurate...
